The season so far:
Mrs G arrived back on the 22nd March followed later by her mate, Aran on the 7th April. Mrs G laid three eggs on the 19th, 22nd, and 25th April and have now hatched. #1 hatched on the 26th, #2 on the 27th and #3 on the 29th May.
Aran has also been visiting and providing for the female, Blue 5F at a nearby nest referred to as the Traeth or Pont Croesor nest. Blue 5F laid three eggs on the 28th April, 2nd and 4th May. One egg was predated by a crow on the 4th May and the remaining two are due to hatch later this week.
Aran has been seen more at his own nest and is regularly providing fish for Mrs G and the chicks but has not delivered any fish to Blue 5F since Saturday 27 May. Soon we should learn if Aran has abandoned Blue 5F and her eggs.

Mrs G feeding the chicks just now
They are getting much bigger chunks of fish now :-)
Aran arrived at the nest
the cam was zooming around ... Mrs G then she hopped down onto the nest to join Aran
Aran then has some fish
Aran has now flown with the fish piece leaving Mrs G watching the chicks
The cam found mrs G on a perch nearby, that i had never seen before.
@8:20h
she did come back to the French perch, to fly off again as if "in pursuit"
but was back on the nest soon after:
yes, Aran has found that tailend of fish...
and was eating it last i looked...
somebody is still eating it at 8:39h
oh well, and sharing bits (but by now this looks like mrs. G): chicks seem interested but not hungry really:
2016: first time in history an Osprey nested in the NL. 2018: 2 active nests! 2019 a storm interferes. 2020: a third active nest in a tree!
Mrs G bringing ht in nesting material.

flew after something and soon landed on the perch
And off again... @8:47
